Serbian President Reports Explosives Found Near Gas Pipeline to Hungary, Raising Security Concerns
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić announced that explosives were discovered near a gas pipeline that supplies Serbia and Hungary. The explosives, found in backpacks near the pipeline in northern Serbia's Kanjiza, were equipped with detonators. This pipeline, known as the Balkan Stream, is an extension of the TurkStream pipeline, which transports Russian gas to both countries. Vučić informed Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán about the findings, prompting Orbán to convene an extraordinary defense council meeting. The incident occurs amid heightened concerns over the security of gas infrastructure, following previous disputes involving the Soviet-era Druzhba pipeline, which carries Russian oil to Hungary and Slovakia. The motives behind the placement of the explosives remain unclear, and no specific group has been identified as responsible.
